shoMedThem HoN II Wns Done.

A jolly party was sitting around table
at restaurant at Frankfort. on-the-Moin,
Germany, talking about the numerous
thefts OF fall oyerooats which had lately
been reported from every part of the
city. Thoy all agreed that such thing
could not possibly happen to any one of
them, as they had their eyes wide open.
Nevertheless, interposed q gentleman
sitting at the next table, 81 would, If need
be, undertake TO prove that any one of
yonr coats would be easily abstracted
from under your very noses" They
were astonished, but he exclaimed that
it was only necessary to engage q man
in an interesting conversation, and while
he continued under the influence to arise,
take his overcoat, put it on, light cigar,
and leave the room with a gracious bow.
The entire company kept up continu-
Gus roar of laughter ct the amusing tale,
and the still more entertaining pratical
illustration with which the relstor accom-
panied his words and walked out of the
door. He did not come back, neither did
the oyercost with pooketbook with 500
in it.

When one is born with an uncomfort-

requires so much watching and training
that very often you give up the task and
declare it hopeless. One of the great

voice really does sound. Sometimes peo-

At the meeting of the Acadmy of Polit
ical Science, at Columbia college, Prof.
Richmond III. Smith read paper on i'm
migration. The continuance of immi-
grafton was not needed, Prof. Smith
thought, There were, he said, about fif-
teen million persons in the United States
who were of foreign or mixed parentage.
This was about 81 per cent of the entire
population. If we included the southern
negroes, two-ffths of the population con-
sisted of persons who could not be strictly
classed as native Americans. Although
some good might be produced by the in
fusion of new blood, we should realize
the extent 10 which immigration had
been carried. Illiteraoy had been in
creased by recent immigration. We had
now reached position, he said, where
we no longer needed immigration.

The Engineer was Mad.

Fireman Roberts, of the Wabash Rail-
road arrived at Des Moines, Iowa, Thurs.
day, on his train, and told a story of his
experience with mad engineer. When
his train drew ont of Des Moines on
Tuesday night, Engineer Botsworth ap.
peared to be all right, but before they
had gone far, Roberts noticed that his
companion acted queerly. At Harvey he
should have stopped for water, and the
fireman backed the train down to the
proper place, while the engineer acted in
q dazed manner. Once on the road again
Botsworth began to travel faster until the
train was running at the rate of fifty.six
miles an hour. Then Roberts realized
that Botsworth was deranged, and just in
time, grasped the lever at Knoxville and
saved the train from going through the
open switch. Faster few the engine,
Botsworth standing by with vacant
smile, and as they thundered through
Bacon, the maniac gave q yell and started
to spring from the cab window. The
watchful fireman caught him by the legs
and while he balanced him on the win.
dow ledge, managed with his foot to stop
the train. The conductor helped to get
Botsworth back to the baggage car, where
he was carefully guarded to Ottumwa
and there turned over to the authorities.
1t is believed to be paralysis of the brain
that ails him.

- The case of the State vs.. Michael
Burns, just decided in the Augusta, Me-,
superior court, was one where Burns
thought that under U. S. law he could
import liquor and sell it in Maine in tho
original packages in spite of the stringent
prohibitory law in that State. Gov.
Bodwell ordered him arrested and prose.
cuted as q nuisance. Judge Whitehouse
in his charge said that the payment of
import duty to the u. S. only gave the
importer right to seek market in this
country. 1t gave him no right to COM
pei market in any State where there
were police regulations against his goods.
A State might make such laws as it
saw fit for the preservation of morality
and good order, and decisions in Federal
courts had expressly specified that a
State might prohibit the introduction of
articles within its borders detrimental to
the public health. The jury were out
only three minutes and gave verdict
against Burns. He proposes to fight the
matter to the highest tribunal.

A Rare Sight.

CHARLOTTE, Sept. 30.-Citizens OF
Sharon township who were in Charlotte
yesterday report that cyclone passed
over their section last Wednesday after.
noon about 5 o'clock. The cyclone tore
along through the clouds like a big bal
loon, occasionally dipping down and
rising again carrying an eddying mass OF
fence rails and limbs in its circling path.
The people over whom the cyclone passed
say that they could watch it just as if it
had been balloon, so clearly was it de.
fined. It looked like big black funnel
and it whirled around like huge top.
It was evidently about one hundred feet
above the surface of the earth, but would
occasionally dip down, wrench Oft the
tree tops and sweep up fences. The
cyclone, spectators tell us, travelled at the
rate of thirty-fve miles an hour and
made q tremendous roar, something like
the rumbliug of train of cars, but 8
hundred fold more noisy. It dipped
down on the plantation of Mr.. W. N.
Alexander, tore up number of peach
and apple trees, took away portion OF
the roof to his house, and then rising
again, disappeared throug gh the air in the
direction of Philadelphia Church. Mr..
Alexander says that he saw the cyclone
coming, his attention being attracted to
it by an unusual sound overhead. When
he first saw it it was skimming along
just over the tree tops, and the branches
of the trees bent and waved under it just
as do shrubs along the banks of rail-
road as train passes by. The cyclone
made sudden dip and when it rose it
carried up perfect storm of limbs, twigs
and leaves. Looking at it as it passed
over him high in the air, Mr.. Alexander
says that he could plainly see fence rails
and branches of trees that it was carry
ing along with it. The skies at the time
we're overcast with heavy clouds, among
which visible commotion was made as
the big black funnel.shaped mass tore its
way throughout them. 1t must have
been a rare sight, indeed, and it is fortu.
nate for the people of Sharon, over whose
heads it passed, that its course was
through the air and not along the surface
of the ground.

Mr.. EDITOR: The announcement is
frequently made in advertising lands for
sale, that - acres are in high. state of
cultivation, when in reality the yield
averages about eleven bushels Of corn or
Six bushels of wheat, twelve bushels Of
oats or. six hundred bushels Of seed cot.
ton per acre-high estimate. These
lands, under, proper treatment, are sus-
ceptible of producing forty bushels Of
corn or wheat, one hundred bushels of
oats or two thousand FIVE hundred pounds
Of seed cotton per acre then what is the
reason that farming don't pay? is it the
fault of the land or does the fault lie
some where else? Your correspondent
has no desire to be egotfstical, but will
give simple statement Of facts. A field
cleared, rails split and fence put up by
hired labor, has had four crops, two Of
corn, two in wheat; these four crops have
paid all expenses of clearing, fencing,
preparing, planting, including seed,
gathering and housing said crops, and
left a profit inclusive of ffty.seven dol
lars per acre, and now has the fifth crop
good for twenty:eight bushels of corn
and FIVE bushels of peas per acre, and
this without any artificial manuring,
but it has been cuKivated. The plan is
to break deep and close, don't turn. The
Architect understood his business and
made the earth right side up, and COM
manded man to cultivate it. Then after
thorough preparation plant and work,
rapidly, smoothly; SOW one pint of peas
per acre at last plowing, if land be fair,
double that amount, if the land be very
thin, leave all the haulm and stubble
ON land, it will keep it from washing and
the good effects will soon be observable.
If the above amount has been made
without manuring, it will not be difficult
by proper application Of fertilizing com.
post to bring land up to the maximum
yield above set forth. In the mean time,
let us scout the idea that cotton is king. I
am not under his control, and therefore
can state that observation has shown that
his horses sometimes look quite rough
and emaciated, which indicates lack Of
corn and forage, while his devotees are
sad, lean and rather cheerless, suggesting
the scarcity of bread and bacon within
the realm. We would modestly insinu.
ate that it would be we'll for said king to
be little lenient in his exactions of the
.tythes, though it might not make his
cash bags heavier, at first; yet it would
soon develop the resources of the realm
to the extent of giving more cheer and
contentment, as we'll as greater prosper.
ity and independence to those who are
now his devotees, and the cry of farming
don't pay would cease to be hesrd; the
well raised young men of the county
would also abandon the idea of constantly
seeking positions within the already over
crowded trades and professions, and
would apply themselves more zealously
to the farm and stock-raising interests,
and much good to the country would be
the speedy result.
